In the spirit of the holiday season, local theater groups Fine Arts Network and Temecula Valley Players are brewing up two of their annual shows at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. “A Christmas Carol” is currently approaching its second weekend, with “The Nutcracker” ballet opening next week.Charles Dickens’ story follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who detests Christmas and all it represents. In an attempt to change him from his self-centered ways, he is visited by three ghosts. Each one guides him through his past, present, and future, reminding him of the joy to be found in the season and connection.This year, the show is directed by Kit Fortier, musically directed by Nichelle Meyers, and choreographed by Hillary Nystrom. Tap choreography was provided by Brittany
